How would you find all of the factors of 36?

Great question! Here is the answer! The factors of 36 are the numbers that divide 36 exactly without leaving any remainder. Thus, the factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36. Hope that helps!

So a nice reminder:

A Factor is a number that divides in to another number leaving no remainder.

When doing factors try to do them in pairs, for example if you think 2 is a factor say to yourself ''what times 2 to give 36'', it is 18 so you can write 2 and 18 as a factor pair. Try to also start from 1 times table and work your way up so you do not miss any factors out.

So Factors of 36 are:

1, 36

2, 18

3, 12

4, 9

6

Notice you do not write 6 twice.

Square numbers will always have one factor with out a pair.

I hope you found this useful.
